The almond bloom has come to an end, marking the start of the next phase in our orchards. The blossoms set the foundation for what we hope will be a strong harvest, and now our focus shifts to fruit development and crop care. Farming is all about timing and transition, and this is a key moment in the season. Thanks to our team for their role in this critical stage. Looking forward to what’s ahead. #AlmondBloom #Agriculture #DuckRiverAgriculture #HarvestSeason
